Pricing for Subscriptions

[TedCronin]

Mike -

When is the subscription Pricing going to get released?  I had hoped it was to be covered during yesterdays seminar.

Hi,

How about the micro/hobby/small business user?  I am publishing trekking maps of Patagonia and started testing/playing around with ArcGIS online and really like it and would like to see how to use it to grow my business.  But my yearly profits currently are less then a yearly subscription.  Is there something for the little, little guy?

Thanks,

bruce

What is the unit of "Cost"?
Could you please give me a link where the term of "Credit" is explained exactly?

Thanks!

Cost is Dollars.  Credit has not really been explained yet by Esri, perhaps at the UC.  This is brand new, so I imagine things are still being worked on.

If everything is working fine with your personal account, there is no additional cost. You don't have to purchase a subscription. If you want to start publishing your own services from your data (not web maps), that's when you need a subscription. Presently, the smallest subscription consists of 5 users with 2500 credits.

Thanks,

Mike

Dollars per Year? Lifetime? Month?

Dollars per Year? Lifetime? Month?

Everything is annual. Cost is annual, credits that come with the plan last a year. Additional credits can be purchased and those additional credits last 2 years.

In my opinion, using credits is ridiculous. Credits get used for: feature storage, tile storage, uploading data, publishing data, generating map tiles, generating feature services, and even get counted towards bandwith !!! so if you wnat to share alot of data and have alot of traffic on your web maps, you'll go through credits like water. I think ESRI could have done this way differently. This setup is, like most of their products, geared towards large business/large agencies/enterprise users. As a few people have stated, the small business/small user gets the short straw once again.

What would have been wrong with just charging for storage? If someone is uploading 20 GBs of data every month, you charge them more. This micro-management with credits is just crazy in today's technological age. Do they really need to charge for things like bandwith? I mean really......

Just not public, not incorrect...
